Current Affairs - 1st Semester of 2012 This course covers advanced writing skills, including comprehension and vocabulary, composition, summary-writing, translation from Portuguese to English and translation from English to Portuguese. These are the skills required for the CACD - Instituto Rio Branco entrance exam (Phase 3-English). The course is also suitable for the staff of international organizations and those who wish to develop their English in the field of International Relations. You should allow 3-6 hours per week for homework and study outside the classroom. New students for Current Affairs courses: please fill in and send us the placement test – click here Students joining our courses usually go to Level 1- this semester, Groups A,B,C,D and H. Level 1 provides quite a lot of teaching about technique and some systematic practice in all the exam skills. If you took Level 1 from August-December 2011 you should consult Prof Paulo about whether to continue in level 1 or register for Level 2. Level 2 classes (Groups E, F & G) go a little faster, with more homework and fewer discussions of technique. The material used in Levels 1 and 2 is the same. Cancellation: If you need to cancel your course, you must do so by the 27th of the month- otherwise you will be liable for the following month's fees. REGISTERE ONLINE HERE. Also, if you are a new student, don't forget to take the placement test.
